Receiving a dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming to everyone involved, but with the right resources, families can move forward with clarity and reassurance. At Havenwood of Maple Grove, we provide compassionate memory care and practical support to help residents and their families find comfort, stability, and meaningful connection at every stage of the journey.

A key part of navigating dementia is understanding the type and progression of the condition. Early awareness allows families to anticipate changes, make informed decisions, and create routines that encourage independence. Whether your loved one is in the early stage—where typical daily life is often maintained—or later stages that require more comprehensive care, having a plan in place helps preserve dignity and peace of mind.

Selecting the right memory care community is another important step. We take pride in our welcoming, secure environment, where families are encouraged to stay engaged and connected. Our caregivers are specially trained in dementia care and offer individualized support that honors each resident’s strengths and abilities. Through our signature Heartfelt Connections—A Memory Care Program®, residents participate in purposeful activities designed to promote joy, engagement, and cognitive stimulation.

Here in Maple Grove, Minnesota, we believe memory care is about more than support—it’s about building connections, celebrating small moments, and providing an environment where families feel confident in the care their loved one receives.
